Abstract
A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to detect another vehicle traveling behind a host vehicle, based on a sensor signal obtained by a sensor for sensing surroundings of the host vehicle, determine whether the detected other vehicle satisfies an obstructing condition for obstructing view behind the host vehicle, and control the host vehicle to secure the view behind the host vehicle when the obstructing condition is satisfied.
